EasyPIC6 Development System
1.0. Connecting the System to your PC
6WHS
Use the USB cable to connect the EasyPIC6 development system to your PC. One end of the USB cable provided with a connector of the USB
B
type should be connected to the development system as shown in Figure 1-2, whereas the other end of the cable (USB
A
type) should be
connected to your PC. When establishing a connection, make sure that jumper J6 is placed in the USB position as shown in Figure 1-1.
6WHS
Follow the instructions for installing USB drivers and the
3,&ÀDVK
programmer provided in the relevant manuals. It is not possible to program
PIC microcontrollers without having these devices installed. In case that you already have some of the MikroElektronika’s compilers installed
on your PC, there is no need to reinstall the
3,&ÀDVK
programmer as it will be automatically installed along with compiler installation.
6WHS
Turn on your development system by setting the power supply switch to the ON position. Two LEDs marked as ‘POWER’ and ‘USB LINK’ will
be automatically turned on to indicate that your development system is ready for use. Use the
3,&ÀDVK
programmer to dump a code into the
microcontroller and employ the board to test and develop your projects.

If you use some additional modules, such as LCD, GLCD, extra boards etc., it is necessary to place them properly on the develop-
ment system before it is turned on. Otherwise, they can be permanently damaged.
